George Burley Quotations

It can have a snowball effect. With the national side doing well there is more interest in the game, which is great.

ongoing issue which has proved impossible to resolve.

The situation is a major concern for us. We face a very difficult game without one of our main players and we don't have a lot of options in that area. Roman's operation was successful but the hard work starts for him now.

He's worked hard, and hasn't had any adverse effect on his hamstring, so he's getting there. Ideally you'd want him to play one or two reserve games first ...

I was very keen for Dennis to stay but he came in on Saturday morning and said he didn't think it was right to stay on and I wished him all the best. Dennis was disappointed, which is understandable, but he can still do a good job on the football field. At the end of the day he has got to be mentally right and he told me he wasn't and you have to respect his decision. He's been a great professional.

Saul did well in the first couple of matches of the season but he knows there is competition for places now,

It's possibly my fault as United maybe took it for granted we were going to let him go. But the decision has to come from the board and I have no qualms in them wanting to keep hold of Neil and I'm happy to have him here.

The response from the public has been fantastic.

He trained yesterday for the first time this week so hopefully he'll be okay.

We are keen to keep improving the quality. Nobody is guaranteed an automatic spot in the team.
